Overview
Maximizes practicing engineers’ understanding of best design and construction practices in fabricating, delivery, and installation of concrete, consistent with current knowledge on concrete durability
Discusses quality control and testing requirements during design and construction, including mixing, production, and placement of concrete and tolerances for slump and air content
Emphasizes real-world examples of optimal concrete mixtures, suitable for selected service conditions and applications, based on prior successful records of projects within the US
Addresses the role of innovative admixtures in concrete placement in cold weather conditions below 32F and meeting the strength and durability requirements
Serves as a valuable resource for students in graduate programs
